I took this shot from the top of a multi storey car park in my home town of St.Helens, Lancashire. All the chimney's and industry in the shot belong to Pilkington Glass. This company invented ' float glass '. It used to be the largest producer of glass in the world. The high rise office block on the horizon is the HQ of the company. Not much of a desk top I know but there is a little history there. It was also a small experiment with my camera ability, lol In my defence, it was cold and very windy up there !!

It's look like a industrial complex... Good shot! Thank you for this.

Nicely done, Stan. The foreground is nice and clear. Your horizon is a tad tilted, or maybe it's me that tilted:) Well done, my friend.

Industrial complexes look the same all over the world - this is what I thought, as I saw this picture. Really, no desktop image, but clear, another good shot.

I am the one without a camera, who is using her mobil phone. But your visits are still welcome!
